Fifa’s ethics committee will announce later whether they are taking action against the two executive members accused of asking for money in exchange for World Cup votes.

Nigeria’s Amos Adamu and Tahiti’s Reynald Temarii have been suspended following an undercover newspaper investigation and any sanctions will be announced in Zurich this morning following a three-day hearing.

Adamu’s position appears to be in greater danger because, according to the Sunday Times, he asked for money for projects to be paid via a family company.

Temarii has insisted he was merely wanting to boost football facilities in the Pacific islands and was not seeking any personal gain. Both deny any wrongdoing.

Should the ethics committee decide on any longer suspensions, that would prohibit the members from voting on the 2018 and 2022 hosts on December 2.

The ethics committee will also rule on four former executive members who are still Fifa officials – Slim Aloulou, Amadu Diakite, Ahongalu Fusimalohi and Ismael Bhamjee – who have also been suspended following the probe.

The ethics committee will also confirm the outcome of their investigation into allegations 2018 World Cup bidders Spain/Portugal and 2022 bidders Qatar colluded to trade votes, which is against bidding regulations.
